VIDEO: Remember Charlie Sheen Really Winning on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

"Sheen is feeling more and more like OJ driving up the 405," tweeted David Poland earlier today. "I don't even think people realize they are just waiting for the gun to go off." Oy. Well, how about a drive down memory lane instead -- to a happier, more innocent time when Charlie Sheen actually volunteered to leave a TV show after a healthy payday.

Sort of, anyway: Sheen won $64,000 for charity on a special celebrity edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? in November 2000, playing opposite a random gang of other eventual TV superstars like Alec Baldwin, Tyra Banks and Jon Stewart while Norm MacDonald and Drew Carey heckled from various portions of the audience. And then there was Kermit the Frog, cheering and waiting in the wings, sadly lacking the tiger's blood necessary to advance to the Hot Seat opposite Regis Philbin. Sigh. Anyway. Memories!

    Every once in a while there appears some celebrity with enough Celebrity to let us feel that if we let loose all our despise upon him/her, s/he can take it all in, and then perhaps kindly die, for a fully restive period of respite. We've been denied it for quite awhile; keep on getting poor offerings -- already fully dissipated Corey Haim and Gary Coleman -- or being effectively checked -- undeniable, momentum-carried-and-respectable-enoughs getting in the way, as Heidi Klum did with Britney Spears. Charlie Sheen has Sylvester -- but his canyness-owed surprise summer success hasn't given him much more cred than box office' has given Gnomeo, so that won't prove enough. If he makes it through, my guess is that it'll owe to our unwillingness to not owe him some for his helping gift our preferred conversation about bottom-rung women: is anything more society-approved or desired these days than a teeth-out hunt for hookers?
